Resolve to change

NEW Year resolutions once meant you intended making changes for the better.

Now the focus seems to be on yourself: we want to lose weight, change the colour of our hair, have a boob job, ask the boss for a rise, try a new restaurant every month or get a better car. Perhaps our friends and family should make our resolutions for us.

They may have different ideas, such as visit your mum more often, don’t let your mobile phone come between you and your children, listen more and say less, do a good deed every day, be kinder and more forgiving.

These are the ways to get a better world.
